And so it begins again!

The spring 2010 semester officially begins on Wednesday, but my asynchronous class, ESOL in the Content Areas, seems to have already started unofficially. I already have homework to get done by Sunday and more to get done by next Wednesday.

We're also supposed to be figuring out where we can do our "field experience" working with an ESL student in a K-12 setting. I talked with a lady in the personnel office for Loudoun County Public Schools today, and I think things are underway for me to be placed at Park View, where Laura B. works! I need to wait to hear back about fingerprinting and orientation, but at least the ball is rolling on that. I think we're supposed to start actually working with the student by week 3/4.

This is probably the last "fun" post for awhile as school starts full steam ahead.

I did get some time to try out a couple patterns from Tasty Crochet: A Pantry Full of Patterns for 33 Yummy Treats by Rose Langlitz.

I just tried a couple of the smaller patterns (apple slices and peanuts), but they were well-written and easy-to-follow. I have high hopes for some of the larger foods. All of the patterns are adorable, and hopefully Isaac will have fun playing with his new play food.
